I still need some ideas on why all the away wins occurred yesterday. The only home win in my match selection was the Moskva game with the Moon cazimi. In the other games where the guests got it, there are both Cancer and Leo ascendants. In those matches the Moon is combust. That could explain why the Cancer ascendants didn?t succeed, but when it comes to the Leo ascendant probably the Moon acts as an underdog?

I'm as puzzuled about the results, particularly Braga-Wolfsburg. Dynamo Zagreb-Spartak Moscow had a similar chart with the LOH Mars trining the AC, where SM(underdogs) won. I also suspect something to do with the Moon's condition but maybe also the LOH being in applying combustion.

Thursday, Dec. 4

Aston Villa - Zilina, 19.45 GMT
Odds: 1,33 4,80 7,70
Asc 3LE21 MC 9AR07 Moon 0PI42 POF 21LI01
Day of Jupiter, I am giving the Hour to Mars. Radical.
Sun, L1, conj Mars, L10. Combust. Saturn, L10, antiscia MC.

The trouble is all the other UEFA matches being played at the same time. Leo will be on the Asc and Aries on the MC for a number of these matches. Villa 'should' have an easy game, but with Saturn L7 casting his antiscia to the MC the guest should certainly score.

One wouldn't 'expect' a draw here, but there is a testimony both ways. Gem, you might check you notes on when the Lord of the Hour is combust?

If anyone is frustrated about a lot of irregular football results lately I would just like to point out that there are a lot of extraordinary and crazy things going on in the World at the moment - and irregularity seems to be a streak that goes along all the line.

Re Villa/MSK Zilina
This is another test for cadent antiscion L7 conj MC - only 12' away this time. I have Jupiter as hour ruler so chart is still radical.

However, in Wolfsburg/Portsmouth game, 8.45pm CET (Asc 12?11' Leo) Mars is hour ruler. Will its combust state save Portsmouth? This is a must-win game for them to have any chance of qualifying. Moon is conj antiscion POF which would favour Wolfsburg as faves

I have Jupiter as hour ruler so chart is still radical.

I thought you would say that. Whether Jupiter rules the ascendant by triplicity, or the hour is on the cusp of Jupiter/Mars (because the quadrant lord of the hour is definately Mars) (shall we call it a split decision), both these testimonies may go in direction of a draw.

Or does Mars, as Lord of Hour, being combust - cause obstacles for the favourite?

Hope so.

As it's separating, there's still hope ( I have POF at 29 Libra 50).

I agree.

I've had a quick look at some of the other games tonight, at Heerenveen, Copenhagen and Nancy. Combust Mars is hour ruler in all three charts, so it will be interesting to see how these turn out too.

I'll go for a win for Villa, then I can cheer them on in front of the TV tonight And I'll be keeping everything crossed for Portsmouth!

Aston Villa - Zilina 1-2

Great for astrology. The chart suggested trouble in the works. Antiscia Saturn, L7, cast to the MC got it! Moon in Pisces caused trouble for the B'ham team.

Accepting Mars as the Lord of the Hour (?) and Gem's observation that the Lord of the Hour being combust destroys the matter for the favourite, makes perfect sense. Out of the 8 UEFA games played 3 games ended a draw, 4 games ended away and one game showed a home win.

One game out of 8 was won by the ascendant. Poor Portsmouth.
It's difficult to find convicton when the team you are cheering for
is on the wrong end of the balance...

I didn't look at Copenhagen but S Prague was beaten by Hamburg with LOH Mars and Leo AC and Lech Poznan drew with a similar chart. But as the Sun is finally separating from Mars, the affliction will be lessened.
Wolfsburg were odds on faves after all and were hard to beat them at home, I guess.

the Lord of the Hour being combust destroys the matter for the favourite

Unless they're German teams apparently, since Wolfsburg and Hamburg were the only faves who managed to win last night.

As for Villa, I hardly recognised them. O'Neill made 8 changes since they only needed a draw to qualify and most of the key players were on the bench. As it turned out they've qualified anyway, even though they lost!

Shame about Portsmouth but I guess the writing was on the wall after they drew against AC Milan. Oh well....

According to my bookies, it was even for S Prague/Hamburg.

The bookies varied but the majority went for Hamburg. I agree it was pretty close though and certainly not as clear-cut as Wolfsburg who were just about odds-on with most of the bookies. Portsmouth put up a good show really. It was 2-2 for a long time before Wolfsburg eventually scored the winning goal.
